Even if, hypothetically, you actively wanted to trade Luka, how are the Lakers even one of the first five teams you call?

Does Markus Cuban know that they traded his favorite player?

I don't think Lakers are much better tbh. This is a long term move.

Defense will be terrible without AD. Luka won't even be ready to play. Too much weight on LeBrons shoulders.

But obviously starting next year with Luka and more pieces they are going to be a title contender.

This is one of the most absurdly random and shocking trades I've ever seen. Wow

I really have no skin in this game, but this league is rigged for certain franchises. No wonder the ratings are down the toilet.

What the hell did Luka do? Something had to go down man. Did he take the 2nd apron and choke Cuban with it?

Yeah I really don't get why they were in such a rush to get this done.

The bidding war for Luka would have been massive.


Spurs, Thunder and etc could have given like 8 or 9 first round picks for Luka.


lol @ Luka wanting to live in OKC or SAS.

Unbelievable. Has to be more to the story like career altering injury. If not conspiracy hat, league needed better ratings, get best player in nba to lakers for this return?

Obviously the real deal was that Silver agreed to give the Mavs Cooper Flagg for their contribution, just like the Pelicans were given Zion.

My mind is truly blown rn.

Silver is like "So people don't want a European player as the face of the league? What if he is a Laker?"

If Luka brings even 1 championship to LA, this is going to be up there with the Blazers passing on Michael Jordan as all an all-time great NBA team fumble decision for the Mavs.

I believe this is a fired GM.

Even if you believe this is true, how do you not get more for Luka? HOW?!

Some very shady stuff happened for this trade to go down.

There is literally no other explanation.

Rob Pelinka and Jeanie are owed apologises from Lakers Fans worldwide lol

This is definitely the most stunning/out of nowhere trade in NBA history (least in my lifetime following the league, 1992)

Absolutely devastated for Mavs fans to say the least

:o LeBron is 0-7 in game winning/tying FGs in the finals. And is 20/116 or 17% in game winning/tying FGs in the 4th/OT for his career. That's historically bad :o

The Mavs were like **** you Luka and then traded him to the Lakers.

This is 100% tampering behind the scenes.
